DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present Indicia Systems and Methods will now be discussed in detail with regard to the attached drawing figures, which were briefly described above. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth illustrating the Applicant's best mode for practicing the Indicia Systems and Methods and enabling one of ordinary skill in the art to make and use the Indicia Systems and Methods. It will be obvious, however, to one skilled in the art that the present Indicia Systems and Methods may be practiced without many of these specific details. In other instances, well-known manufacturing techniques, materials selection, design choices, and other method steps have not been described in particular detail in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring this disclosure.

FIG. 1 shows a perspective view illustrating a uniformed worker positioning an advertising badge on uniform 102 by releasing badge 112 within the attractive magnetic forces generated between the complementary aligned magnets within uniform 102 and badge 112 so that badge 112 may rotate and shift into a single, proper alignment on the uniform. The worker is wearing uniform 102. Uniform 102 includes hat 104 and shirt 106, as shown. Uniform 102 may include removable badges that magnetically attract to designated areas on the uniform; for example, shirt badge 107 may be magnetically affixed to shirt 106, as shown.

In the magnified area A of FIG. 1, the worker can be seen attaching badge 112 to hat 104, as shown. In this snapshot, badge 112 can be seen traveling through the air before being magnetically attached to hat 104. The worker previously held badge 112 as indicated by the dashed line of the held position 108. Held position 108 may not have been properly aligned with hat 104, as shown. Just after release of badge 112, badge begins rotating and shifting (and with sufficient magnetic strength, even while airborne) to align with the hat, and may move through the air, at airborne position 110, as shown. Finally, badge 112 may come to rest at the dashed line shows by front area 114, which indicates the area where badge 112 is removably attached to hat 104 by the magnetic forces. As shown, indicia aligning systems 100 allow for proper alignment of badge 112 to hat 104 without removal of the hat, without visual inspection of the badge or hat after attachment, and without nudging or jostling associated with manual alignment. The arrangement of magnets (described more fully in FIGS. 8 to 12) assist aligning the badge to the hat, so that the right-side-up of the hat matches the right-side-up of the badge, as shown.

Hat 104 includes badge 112 positioned on the front of hat 104. Hat 104 includes side badge 116 positioned on the side of hat 104. The arrangement of magnets may guarantee that badge 112 may only removably attach to the area at front of hat 104, as shown, and not to the area where side badge 116 is shown. Likewise, side badge 116 may only removably attach to the area at the side of hat 104, as shown, and not to the area at front of hat 104. (See more discussion at text accompanying FIGS. 8 to 12.)

Indicia aligning systems 100 allow alignment of badges to garments or uniforms that always appear neat and in pre-selected locations. Indicia aligning systems 100 allow removable and interchangeable badges to increase the usability or reusability of a garment or uniform. Indicia aligning systems 100 allow convenient and handy methods for collecting and displaying indicia. Indicia aligning systems 100 allows simple, easy and fool proof attachment and reattachment methods for wearers. Indicia aligning systems 100 allows a method and means for providing the manufacturer with a removably attachable indicia for a pre-determined position on a garment, when the garment has already been manufactured and is owned or in the possession of the wearer.

FIG. 2 shows a front perspective view illustrating a hat with four advertising emblems. FIG. 3 shows a rear perspective view illustrating a hat with four advertising emblems. FIG. 4 shows a side view illustrating a hat with four advertising emblems. FIG. 5 shows a top view illustrating a hat with four advertising emblems. FIG. 6 shows a front view illustrating a hat shows four advertising emblems. FIG. 7 shows a rear view illustrating a hat with four advertising emblems. Together FIGS. 2 to 7, all show an embodiment of the invention where the article of clothing is a hat, four badges are displayed at four sides of the hat: front, back, right side and left side. Each badge may display different indicia that may or may not be related to a single theme. In some embodiments, each badge may display advertising indicia for the same or different goods or services. The hat shows typical six panel construction, and, may be called a “baseball hat” or “baseball cap”.

FIG. 8A shows a partial front view illustrating a portion of the front of a hat with a removable advertising badge 118 magnetically affixed to the front of the hat. FIG. 8B shows a cross section view illustrating the section through line L of FIG. 8A in the direction indicated, which shows the various layers of advertising badge 118 and the hat to arrange the magnets 122, 124, 130, and 132 to ensure proper alignment. Considering FIGS. 8A and 8B together, badge 118 includes two magnets 122 and 124, as shown. The hat includes two magnets 130 and 132, as shown. Magnets 122 and 130 may be oriented so that their positive magnetic fields are perpendicular to the surface of the badge and the surface of the hat, as shown. Magnets 124 and 132 may be oriented so there negative magnetic fields are perpendicular to the surface of the hat and the surface of the badge, as shown, and, that is, opposite the orientation of the magnetic fields of magnets 122 and 130. This arrangement of magnets 122, 124, 130, and 132 allow badge 118 to be magnetically attracted toward and become attached to the hat through the complementary attractive magnetic forces. This arrangement prevents badge 118 from being attached to the front of the hat unless the top of badge 118 aligns with the top of the hat.

The arrangement may be constructed as follows. Badge 118 may include three layers, as shown. Display layer 119 may consist of tin or aluminum, as shown. Display layer 119 may be laser etched with indicia. Display layer 119 may be made from other materials and other markings, for example, plastic material which may be dyed to mark the indicia, or for further example, other metals or fabric which may be silk screened to mark the indicia. Holding layer 120 may include holes for magnets 122 and 124 (as shown) that may situate magnets in the desired arrangement. Holding layer 120 may be affixed to display layer 119 by adhesive, glue, fastener, or other attachment means. Holding layer may be made of synthetic rubber, synthetic leather, or other materials. Holding layer may be leather in some embodiments. The thickness of holding layer may be selected to correspond to thickness of magnets, as shown. Backing layer 126, may be any suitably thin layer to contain magnets 122 and 124, as shown. For example, backing layer 126 may be an adhesive sticker. In some embodiments, backing layer 126 may be unneeded, for example, when adhesives may be used to fixedly and permanently attach magnets to display layer 119 or holding layer 120. Alternately, backing layer may consist of other materials, such as paper, plastic or fabric. In some embodiments, display layer 119 may have slightly less diameter than rubber layer 122, as shown in the front view of FIG. 8A. This may frame or border the indicia of badge 118 which may provide an aesthetically pleasing or ornamental look.

The layers of the hat may include the following. Fabric panels 128 are positioned along the front of the hat. Behind fabric panels 128, magnets 130 and 132 are situated, as shown. Positioning fabric panel 134 may cover magnets 130, and 132, as shown, to situate magnets in the desired arrangement. Positioning fabric panel 134 maybe held in place by stitching 136, as shown.

Magnets 122, 124, 130, and 132 may be permanent magnets. Magnets 122, 124, 130, and 132 may be circular in shape. Magnets 122, 124, 130, and 132 may be rare earth magnets. Magnets 122, 124, 130, and 132 may be of grade N42 as commercially available from Applied Magnets of Plano, Tex. Magnets 122, 124, 130, and 132 may have sufficient magnetic strength to attach badge 118 to the hat through the layers shown in FIG. 8B, that is, backing layer 126 and fabric panel 128, as shown. The strength of the magnetic fields may be calculated relative to the amount of material and the relative thickness thereof. In other words, the strength of magnetic fields should be sufficient to properly align the badge on a hat, while also, the strength of the magnetic fields should be insufficient to prevent ready removal of badge 118 from the hat. Note that sliding magnets apart may require less dexterity and strength for the wearer to remove the magnets. In some embodiments, this instruction may be included for the wearer. Positive magnet fields correspond to the north pole of a magnet and negative magnetic fields correspond to the south pole of a magnet.

FIGS. 9A to 12B show a series of magnet arrangements 200. It should be noted that for FIGS. 9A to 12B, it is assumed that the top side of the garment corresponds with the top side of the drawing page. In other words, most garments have a proper orientation so that the indicia on a badge may be aligned for easy and natural comprehension of the indicia by viewer of badges 210. Garment-affixed magnets 226, 227, may be attached to the garment using stitching 220 and a fabric panel backing, as shown. Badge-affixed magnets 224, 224 may be attached to badges 210 using adhesive or a backing layer, as previously described.

FIG. 9A shows a front view illustrating badge 202 having a magnet positioned within and with magnetic fields oriented with respect to the surface of the indicia displayed on the badge. FIG. 9B shows a front view illustrating a portion of a garment having a magnet positioned inside with magnetic fields oriented to receive the badge of FIG. 9A, while the indicia on the badge is properly aligned. FIGS. 9A and 9B show a single magnet having positive and negative magnetic fields oriented in the same plane as and generally parallel to the surface of the portion of the garment and the badge. In this arrangement, the magnet must be permanently affixed to the portion of the garment and the badge to ensure that the badge will align with the garment. That is, magnets 204 and 208 must be fixedly and permanently affixed to the badge 202 and garment 206 so that magnet 204 and magnet 208 are incapable of rotation, for example, through the use of adhesive to adhere the magnet to the garment or badge.

In some embodiments, the use of a single magnet may be required because of the size of the badge.

FIG. 10A shows a front view illustrating badge having two magnets positioned inside and with magnetic fields oriented with respect to the surface of the indicia displayed on the badge. FIG. 10B shows a front view illustrating a portion of a garment having two magnet positioned inside with magnetic fields oriented to receive the badge of FIG. 10A, while the indicia on the badge is properly aligned. That is, the magnets are oriented with there magnetic fields generally perpendicular to the surface of the fabric of the garment. Together, these Figures show an arrangement of magnets in a line formation with the pair of magnets at each end oriented with the magnetic fields positioned oppositely. That is, at one end of the line the negative magnetic field is positioned generally perpendicular to the surface of the badge and the surface of the portion of the garment. At the other end of the line the positive magnetic field is positioned generally perpendicular to the surface of the badge and the surface of the portion of the garment.

FIG. 11A shows a front view illustrating a badge having four magnets positioned inside and with magnetic fields oriented with respect to the indicia displayed on the badge. FIG. 11B shows a front view illustrating a portion of a garment having four magnet positioned inside with magnetic fields oriented to receive the badge of FIG. 11A, while the indicia on the badge is properly aligned for viewing. Together, these figures show an arrangement of magnets in a box formation with a pair of magnets at each corner of the geometric shape. In this arrangement, the positive magnetic fields 224, 226 and the negative magnetic fields 225, 227 have been selected such that the badge may not be oriented upside down relative to the garment. In other words, with arrangements of magnets that have an even number of magnets more than two, care must be taken to ensure the positioning of the magnets or the orientation of the magnetic fields does not permit upside down alignment of the badge, for example, in a box configuration the same field orientation on corners separated by the furthest distance will allow upside down orientation, which may not be desirable.

FIG. 12A shows a front view illustrating a badge having three magnets positioned inside and with magnetic fields oriented with respect to the indicia displayed on the badge. FIG. 12B shows a front view illustrating a portion of a garment having three magnets positioned inside with magnetic fields oriented to receive the badge of FIG. 12A, while the indicia on the badge is properly aligned to allow natural viewing. Together, these figures show an arrangement of magnets in triangle formation with a pair of magnets in each corner. In this arrangement, since there are an odd number of pairs of magnets, only a single orientation for right side up badge may be possible.

Magnet arrangements 200 may be any arrangement where the magnets are situated and the magnetic fields are oriented so that only a single right side up orientation may be possible for a badge that is magnetically attracted to the arrangement. Situation of magnets may include the relative horizontal and vertical position related to all other magnets used in the badge or area of the garment. Magnet arrangements 200 need not necessarily be geometric even though these figures depict all arrangement as geometric shapes for clarity of understanding. Also, different arrangements may be assigned to different areas of the garment so that the location or area where badge may be displayed may be determined at the time of the manufacture of the badge, and not moved to a different area or arrangement by the later wearer of the badge. Using these techniques, a great number of pre-determined locations may be includes with any garment or hat. Magnet arrangements 200 may provide advantages for the placement of advertising on badges, because the location of the advertisement relative to an area of a uniform or position on the human body may be guaranteed to the advertiser.

FIG. 13 shows a front view illustrating a portion of a series of indicia on badges. The series of indicia may include a theme. The theme may be a group of professional athletes, sports teams, popular racing cars and drivers, professional basketball teams, or other icons or emblems of interest to people interested in affiliating associating or showing support for organizations. The series of indicia may include recently released movies, or other events related to a venue. The series of indicia may include a group of indicia all related to the same good, service, or event, with an indicia intended for all of the specific predetermined locations on a uniform. The series of indicia may include elements or markings related to an organization, such as, for example, trademarks, logos, slogans, trade dress, etc.
